I'll be watching it, but as entertainment rather than serious information about cars. I actually prefer Fifth Gear's style for that as I come away actually knowing something about real every day cars that you don't seem to get from Topgear much these days. Top fun and is also on series link for me.

Thought it was pretty good and witty. Wouldn't mind taking the 335d over the stelvio pass, any fancy it for 'summer meet 2008'?

So come on then, which was your favourite? The Lambo, Porker or the Aston???
I'd go for the GT3 RS, loving that Viper Green paintjob ![]()

Actually none of them really floated my Boat, I'd rather go for the 997 turbo...
I agree with them that the stripped down aspec doesn't appeal to me... Not really when you have like 450+bhp on tap. SJ |

hahha you must be a real nice guy to let them ride in your car.
i would do exactly this... say the quote, pop my car into neutral, rev all the way as if i'm trying to take off, then just say "oh, look at that, i'm still in neutral, but WHAT A NOISE!" then launch off! |
